Catalyst 6509-V-E Switch
Supervisor engines
•
Supports Supervisor Engine 32, Supervisor Engine 32 PISA, Supervisor
Engine 720, and Supervisor Engine 720-10GE.
–
Supervisor Engine 32, Supervisor Engine 32 PISA, Supervisor
Engine 720, and Supervisor Engine 720-10GE are installed in slot
5 and slot 6.
–
Supervisor Engine 720 and Supervisor Engine 720-10GE have
built-in switching fabric. Switch Fabric Modules are not supported
by Supervisor Engine 720 Supervisor Engine 720-10GE and cannot
be installed in the same chassis.
–
Supervisor Engine 32 and Supervisor Engine 32 PISA do not
support the Switch Fabric Modules ((WS-C6500-SFM and
WS-X6500-SFM2).
•
The uplink ports are fully functional on all redundant supervisor engine
models when they are in standby mode.
Note
In systems with redundant supervisor engines, both supervisor
engines must be the same model and have the same daughter card
configurations. Each supervisor engine must have the resources to
run the switch on its own, which means all supervisor engine
resources are duplicated. Identical supervisor engine memory
configurations are recommended, but are not required as long as the
supervisor engine with the smaller memory configuration is
sufficient to run the configured features of the switch. Additionally,
each supervisor engine must have its own flash device and console
port connections.
Modules
•
Chassis supports up to eight Catalyst 6500 series modules.
•
Some Catalyst 6500 series modules:
–
Are not supported
–
Require that you install a Supervisor Engine 720
–
Have chassis slot restrictions
–
Require a specific software release level
Check your software release notes for specific information on supported
modules.
